Wondering what Lions have done near you? Here are a few highlights.
Agincourt Recreation Centre

A gift from the Agincourt Lions Club made the Agincourt Recreation Centre possible.
The Agincourt facilities let people swim, skate, dance, play hockey, and conduct other meetings and sessions. One room upstairs is reserved for use by Lions.

Birchmount Community Centre
93 Birchmount Road, Toronto
The Scarborough Central Lions Club gifted property to the city so that the Birchmount Community Centre could be built. The two-storey building (at the bottom in the photo below) houses a large indoor pool and general purpose rooms.
And work continues. The City of Toronto is adding a new double gym, improving the pool viewing area, and adding a new multi-purpose room.
The 2nd floor room atop the round tower at the building’s east end continues to house the Scarborough Central Lions Club.

Heron Park Community Centre
292 Manse Road, Toronto
The West Hill Lions Club received its charter in 1944. In its early days, it acquired land at the corner of Lawrence Avenue East and Manse Road. Lions were instrumental in building the community centre that once stood there. Years later, the West Hill – Highland Creek Lions Club turned over the property to the City of Toronto so that a bigger, better community centre could be built. Today, the Heron Park Community Centre has a baseball diamond, outdoor swimming pool. The new community centre houses two hockey rinks, a gym, and general purpose space. The West Hill – Highland Creek Lions Club still meets there.

Lions 101 is a great resource for not only a new Lion at the time of Induction but all Lions who often lead an insulated existence in their Clubs(dens) due to variety of reasons.
Kudos to Lion Paul
